I can't take that many levels of bard without taking lasting inspiration. Nothing against BB's build, but there are other variants that I think make this one worth posting. I think

STR 8+6 +4/2 = 16 + 8 RDD + 10 ability = 34
DEX 8 + 6 = 14
CON 8 + 2 = 10 + 2 RDD = 12
INT 8 + 6 = 14 + 2 RDD = 16
WIS 8
CHA 8 + 6 = 14 + 2 RDD = 16

*Option to go Martial: Rapier permits the use of shield, which will add + 8 to the build's AC if + 5 equipment is allowed. Greatswords are cool

AC (10 base + 2 dex + 5 medium armor + 8 tumble + 4 RDD + 1 dodge + 2 Armor Skin = 32 [+ 3 if rapier/shield = 35]. Bard Song will add 5 to AC.

BA 26 (4 attacks/round)

AB (4/round): 26 base + 12 str + 1 WF + 2 EWF + 1 EP + 1 WM = 43. Bard Song will add +2 to AB.

Saves: Fort 21/Reflex 24/Will 22

Max HP: 332

Skills (339):
Spellcraft 42
Perform: 43 (45 needed for Bard Song 19, 50 for 20, 55 for 21, and so on)* [85]

*You get to 46 with charisma bonus for a level 19 bard song. With the +7 skill bonus, however, your subsequent bard song for your allies will be level 20, as will your curse song. Charisma-boosting gear will raise the bard song, too, obviously.

I really do reccomend you take martial over exotic here since WM doesn't give weapon proficiencies and it would allow you to use most weapons you can find if they're better than the one you're focussed in.
